• A lot of "I didn't see you" accidents with cyclists happen at junctions. I think you'll find the main reason for this isn't that the motorist wasn't looking, but that they weren't looking where you are. Off to the kerb side of the road you don't come up in their field of perception because they're looking for a motorised vehicle, and they are coming down the middle of the lane. If you're in that position, you will be seen and registered in their perception.

    Obviously if there is a lot of motorised traffic then you needn't bother, you will have cars acting for you as an inhuman shield as it were.

    Also look at enlarged a post around windscreens and also ook that movement is percieved in periferal vision if you are going straight you are not seen. Same with motorcycles.

    Ok does that make sense?
